Stirling's Hidden Gems and Castle

Stirling Castle is one of Scotland's most historically important sites and was once a favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens who held grand celebrations at the castle, which is why it is a great addition to any tour.  With a walking guided tour of the hidden gems of Stirling too you will immerse in the Old Town, its history and modern life today! Walk in the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots, William Wallace, and Robert the Bruce whilst you hear the tales of battles, kings and queens who shaped Stirling, and Scotland into the place it is today. Learn about executions, marketplaces, and grave robbers as well as modern life in this bustling city.

There is nothing like a departure by steam or the rumble of a mighty heritage diesel locomotive – Bo’Ness & Kinneil - enjoy a scenic ten-mile train journey along the Forth Estuary through Woods past waterfalls and over the Avon Viaduct.
